[wix-users] wix v3.9

[Rob Mensching]

It should work if in your ResolveSource event, you call SetLocalSource() to the network share then return Result.Retry.

Sounds nice!
But can you help me to figure out how should I do it? 
I wana copy one of chain packages from SMB share if it is not found locally.

Seems like I have to use ResolveSource event  and try to tell that I need to copy package.
But if I use SetLocalSource or SetDownloadSource and set result = Result.Download or Result.Restart it fails - so I guess I'm doing something wrong.

I made a workaround - I copy packages from shared folder by myself in OnResolveSource and set result to TryAgain. This works pretty well. Packages are downloaded and installed.
But I want to know how can it be done by burn?

Anyway, thanks for ur great job, guys =)

You don't "download" from an SMB share. You just copy from it. Burn supports copying files from SMB shares no problem.

Hi there.
I have a question. I've seen a message by Bob Arnson on stackoverflow (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17785382/wix-bootstrapper-downloadurl-can-it-be-a-local-network-path) that told "

Burn supports downloading from BITS, FTP, HTTP, and HTTPS. It doesn't support SMB shares "

It was about v3.6
I wanna know if it is possible to "download" package from network share somehow in v3.9?
If not - will this function be available sometime?

Thanks
